Technology

I like to use technology. I think technology can help us in many different ways. For example, when I study Japanese, I often use this website to help me understand words I don't know or kanji I don't know how to write. I use my computer for many things othern than studying. I also make lesson plans, activities for my English classes. I make presentations and sometimes videos too.

However, sometimes I worry that I spend too much time with the computer and that I should try to spend more time outside, especially when the weather is really nice like it has been recently. I enjoy using technology, but I don't think it is healthy to use it too much!

Everyone did a great job with today's work. I also really enjoyed reading about your summer vacations. Many of you had some really interesting experiences!

For this week, please write a blog post about the following:

1) Technology: Do you enjoy using technology? What kind of technology do you use the most? What kind of technology do you hate?

That's all for this week. See you next week!
